Hard to tell whether barr's competence is over-rated; or overwhelmed by trump's ignorant orders to barr.

[It did seem that after barr's initial letter on 'the Mueller Report' - barr quickly issued, in an unseemly way, several more letters, that may have been ordered by the genius trump, which didn't go well].

Lol buncha dumb mutherfuckers... Volaris May 2019 #17

I saw the same broadcast, and I don't think that's what Mueller stated in the report. Texin May 2019 #30

Well stated! Vinnie From Indy May 2019 #31

Rachel seems to be the first person to see it. RVN VET71 May 2019 #38

Rachel used Amy K's subtle questioning of barr, to open up a direct empedocles May 2019 #5

Imagine Rachael as a Senator !!!!!!!!!!! pangaia May 2019 #13

In my wettest dreams , she would decide she's made quite enough corporate monies, Volaris May 2019 #19

Olbermann as Press Sec. Can you imagine that??? pangaia May 2019 #24

His competence does come into question; for babylonsister May 2019 #15

Same here...nt 2naSalit May 2019 #20

Thats why i call him LOW BARR onetexan May 2019 #27

Smarty pants! So glad you're Ilsa May 2019 #12

Also Klobuchar was told by Barr watoos May 2019 #6

I saw that! Ilsa May 2019 #9

Pretty shrewd, I must say. calimary May 2019 #14

Senator Klobuchar wrote to mueller today and asked some questions. onecaliberal May 2019 #8

Loved Rachel's characterizations of Amy's questions and follow-up letter. empedocles May 2019 #11

It was great. I love how Jabba the Hutt told the senator to ask mueller, and she did just that. onecaliberal May 2019 #16

Not sure how that helps. Mueller is likely to give the same ambiguous answers he gave in his report. Hoyt May 2019 #18

Mueller found 4 to 6 examples of criminal obstruction of justice. watoos May 2019 #21

Obstruction isn't going to take trump down. We all watched him obstruct, but GOPers don't care. Hoyt May 2019 #25

No, Mueller did not say he found no evidence of collusion/conspiracy. euphorb May 2019 #22

He needed to say, "Lock the MFer up." Not, "I can't find sufficient evidence." Hoyt May 2019 #26

NRA has another meaning patphil May 2019 #33

Yep, and Mueller is probably a member. Hoyt May 2019 #37

Mueller never was and is not a wimp. Period. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz May 2019 #40

+1, who told Mueller the standard was reasonable doubt vs preponderance of evidence?! uponit7771 May 2019 #29

He would have learned it in law school, if not before. euphorb May 2019 #39

Isn't only preponderance of evidence needed to bring criminal charges? tia uponit7771 May 2019 #41

Prosecutors generally don't bring charges unless they have sufficient evidence to convict. euphorb May 2019 #43

He was referring to the primary charge: that of willfully and knowingly conspiring with Russians. Texin May 2019 #35

Mueller plays long game & maybe you forget the 14 criminal referrals Mueller made, only 2 are known. Bernardo de La Paz May 2019 #42

Not hard to always win in court, if you only prosecute when there is no doubt whatsoever. Hoyt May 2019 #44

I sure as hell hope so. mountain grammy May 2019 #23

Rachel and I are so often on teh same page ... here's me, last night at 6pm ... mr_lebowski May 2019 #28

Yeah, I think Barr stepped in it. patphil May 2019 #32

Hah! shanti May 2019 #34

Mueller refers to copious evidence of criminal wrongdoing and he has referred indictments Texin May 2019 #36

Mueller is a Rethuglican. I doubt he tricked Barr into anything. nt MadDAsHell May 2019 #45
